Selling on the web.Surface pattern designer.

Hello; thanks for visiting my creative space!

I worked hard trying to license more of my patterns last year.

Selling on the web is
not an easy work,as apart from designing, submitting, learning new artistic techniques, getting information about
trends, and contacting with brands, I usually promote my work devoting lots of
hours a week.

Designing what
I like is great, but I am always doubting if customers will like it or not, if
it will be commercial. That it is why promoting it is very helpful ,not only
for selling, but also to show to me if people like my designs depending on their
comments, saves and likes.

I was
curious, so I have had a look to my last sales reports in order to see which of
my designs were more commercial. In some ways this can help me to design new
patterns based on similar styles.

This is the
worst part of licensing your work, you don´t know if you work is going to sell
well or not. Sometimes it takes weeks till you see your artwork is up on the web company, weeks till you see they are selling through Amazon or other shopping webs... Time helps to improve your sales.

Of course; it is very important a good design in order to sell a product, but there are lots of
other factors as the kind of product,
quality, price, marketing and commercial distribution business among others.

As you know, I sell my patterns at spoonflower, and my best sold pattern keep being my Bookbooks
owls. This pattern took me days to
develop due to its difficult repeat. I think American people like owls, as it
is a popular motive.

My“white
flowers” is a pattern which it looks elegant, and simple for home products, therefore
it is nice on kessinhouse duvets.

The same it happens to my “tropical leaves” which it is
my best sold design on cutting boards.

My geometric brown pattern “ deco” it works
well on panels and rugs, perhaps due to its dark colors and that it is easy to
match.
